The line that best describes one effect of the poet's use of simile in this excerpt is: C. It shows the VC's coordination in the face of obstacles to emphasize the challenging nature of the environment.

According to the dictionary, a simile is "a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid". The poet says "VC struggled with the hillside, <em>like black silk wrestling iron through grass</em>." That image evokes the challenges of nature and of the surroundings of VC, and in turn, highlight his coordination to overcome such obstacles.

Which sentence best explains how the illustration relates to the point? gilgamesh overcomes his fear despite humbaba’s ferocity.
IceJOKER [234]

Gilgamesh overcomes his fear despite humbaba’s ferocity best describes how the illustration connects to the point.

<h3>How does Gilgamesh overcome his fear of mortality?</h3>

Enkidu's death stands as what sparks Gilgamesh's motivation to set out on a journey to discover eternal life. At first, Gilgamesh fears death because Enkidu died; his emotions change after his investigation when Gilgamesh accepts death, and he recognizes mortals stand not meant to live forever. Gilgamesh's fear of death exists a fear of meaninglessness and, although he falls to win immortality, the quest itself shows his life meaning.

Gilgamesh demonstrated heroism when he conquered the monster Humbaba. The giant creature lived in the Cedar Forest and threatened all who lived nearby, refusing to permit anyone to pass through the forest. Gilgamesh was considered a hero because he had many wonderful qualities, such as loyalty, perseverance, and heroism. Although these exist as heroic traits, he also had his flaws and was self-righteous, greedy, and prideful. Gilgamesh was a generous man and was seen as flawless and “perfect in strength”.

Hence, Gilgamesh overcomes his fear despite humbaba’s ferocity best describes how the illustration connects to the point.
